Ridgeland Commons, Oak Park /Jimmy's Place, Forest Park See Details Below, IL US
When:
Saturday, January 24, 5:30PM
Oak Park River Forest Class of 1978 Alumni and their families are invited to an open skate evening at Ridgeland Commons Ice Arena Details
Part 1: Meet at Ridgeland Commons (415 W. Lake St.), in Oak Park for skating (or falling!) on Saturday, January 24 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Part 2: Afterwards, we will head to Jimmy's Place (7411 Madison St.) in Forest Park for food and drink (and recovery from bruised bodies and bruised egos!) COST: There is no upfront cost. Pay as you go that evening. RSVP's by January 3rd will be helpful for the restaurant. Spectators are welcome! Even if you've never skated before! I will be happy to have a supply of double-bladed skates available just for you :-)
Well Blades of Glory I'll be there! My Canadian coach Shae Lynn Bourne is working with me on my Triple Salkow. 5.9, 5.9, 5.9. 5.8, and a 3.2 from the Russian judge.
Think this is a great idea. I know that my daughter would go and love it, plus I'll probalbly need someone to help me up! Perhaps the guys would come too but most likely after the skate -- I'll update # as it gets closer.
I hope some of these get-togethers take place on days when I'm in/near town to visit the folks. My last visit fell between the reunion and Christmas.
Enjoy!
Thanks to Randy Vogel for the invite. I'd luv to attend but will use the excuses of 1 - too far away to attend (I live in Helsinki, Finland) & 2 - it's my son's 24th birthday (yeah right he wants to spend it with us rather then partying with friends!). Pls post any/all pics!
Rick this is a GREAT idea. I would love to go but I doubt I will be able to get to Chicago area till summer at best. I hope you get a good response. A good time WILL be had by all.
